I Need This Unicorn Lipstick Bundle and So Beachy Mermaid Scale Makeup Bag Giveaway! My first giveaway ever- just in time for the holidays!

Gen Beauty’s color of 2018 seemed to be a grays and browns. At least that is how it seems to be because most of my freebies were this color! As soon as I got them, I knew I was going to give these away on my blog. Some may consider these nudes, but they look straight up dark brown on me. It honestly depends on your skin tone. These colors may not look good on me, but are beautiful on other people! If these tones are totally your cup of tea, then you should enter this giveaway! Most of these have a similar tone, except for the Tarte lip paint which is red (which I also don’t wear.) I didn’t want to have makeup I would never use wasting away in my house, so I might as well give them to someone who wants them and will wear them!

Also, to give you something from my brand, I wanted to give you a mythical creature themed cosmetic bag. I assume my readers like both makeup and mythical creatures, so here is 2-in-1! This design was painstakingly created in Illustrator and I didn’t just copy and paste, I went in each individual mermaid scale to make sure it was just right.

In this giveaway: One makeup bag designed by me, seven lipcolors, 1 liquid highlighter.

The lipsticks in this giveaway are products I was given for free from either Gen Beauty or were a gift with purchase from Ulta. They are new and unopened! I am also including a liquid skin highlighter as it is too dark for my skin tone. This will be great for people will darker skin tones or a makeup artist to put in their kit! (Or you can give it to a friend!) Almost* anyone can enter to win, this contest is not limited to a specific group.

There are two major rules:* You must be over 18 and have a mailing address in the USA.This is due to legal reasons, and certain countries having complicated laws. I apologize to my international readers, I wanted to have this worldwide, but I was shocked at the sweepstakes laws from other countries! Yes, especially you, Canada!
